Not a problem but I personally would not have a sun roof on any car, too noisey and bright. Most others would like the roof though. When I ordered my 7.1GT3 in 2007 a roof was an option but I ve never seen one fitted.

I have a red 997.1 GT3 in comfort spec with a sunroof, I'm 6ft 2 and don't have any headroom issues and being as I have no intention of pounding the car around tracks its fine, when I go to Europe on a nice sunny day the sunroof open is nice and also has the added benefit of letting me hear even more of that mezger engine noise.

Mine has a sunroof - no particular requirement but also no problem to me as it was on the car anyway - I wanted a focused road car after my Exige, not a race car and this one fitted the bill.

The roof doesn't rattle, leak, take up any of my headroom (6ft tall), alter the shape of the roof/profile of the car (still looks like a 911 to me?) or any of the other bks issues that are often quoted and it does what it should do, allows extra ventilation on tilt and let's the sun in (when it's out!) if opened.

As for the weight thing - I haven't managed to roll the car yet, so guess that is another non-issue (for me anyway)?

Pete, when you have the sunroof closed can you still see the glass or is there a cover that you can pull over to seal it off?

As has been mentioned the panel is metal and painted body colour and on the inside the alcantara headlining is perfectly matching.

You don't notice it at all unless it's open, to be fair it's a non issue, if it didn't have a sunroof it wouldn't bother me either, it's just a nice addition , that being said if I was buying as a track day toy I'd want an RS without a sunroof and with the cage.

It was a factory option for non clubsport cars - it wouldn't put me off if i was buying a 'comfort' spec GT3. Quite the opposite in fact, probably indicative that it wasn't nailed on the track by previous owners. Quite a few of the USA GT3's were specced with a sr, but only a few UK c16 cars tbok.
